🏟️ Address: Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Viad. Río de la Piedad S/n, Granjas México, Iztacalco, Ciudad de México, CDMX, 08400, Mexico Directions in Google Maps
Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is located east of the centre of Mexico City, in the Granjas México area of the Iztacalco borough. Driving to the circuit is not recommended as parking is limited and the traffic in Mexico City is notorious. The local metro or one of the many taxis in town will get you to the track much more easily.
Below you can find general information on travel and parking for Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Individual events may have additional/restricted services available, and so we recommend clicking through to the event and viewing the Travel & Parking tab for event-specific information.
There is very limited parking available at the track itself, and driving in Mexico City is famously tricky for those unfamiliar with local road customs and regular traffic jams. Visitors are strongly encouraged not to bring their own vehicle to the circuit, but there are some public parking lots in the area if a car is required, including:
Taxis are very common and affordable in Mexico City, and there are a number of ride-share options as well, including Uber. On event days the roads around the Autódromo will be extremely congested, so leave plenty of time if you are planning to arrive by taxi. If you are staying in a hotel, consider arranging a taxi service in advance with the help of the hotel staff.
Mexico City has a range of different public buses, but the most convenient for getting around quickly are the Metrobuses or trolley buses. Use Line 2 (purple) and get off at Goma, Itztacalco, UPIICSA or El Rodeo. These stations are approximately 15 minutes' walk from the south side of the circuit, convenient for Gates 13, 14, and 16. Each journey costs 6 pesos, which can only be paid via a metrocard. These cards are easily available from bus stops and stations.
The circuit also offers a Ticket2ride shuttle bus service for some events, which takes passengers directly to the Autódromo from a number of locations around the city. The drop-off and pick-up point for these services is the UPIICSA parking lot at the corner of Calle Vainilla and Sur 187, nearest to Gates 13 and 14. Tickets must be in advance of the event and are available online.
Mexico City is a sprawling capital defined by its many characterful neighbourhoods, each of which offers its own unique and exciting take on the city. Whilst some are pricier than others, the city as a whole is very affordable and can easily be visited on a shoestring budget.
The circuit features a range of food and drink stalls, including familiar chains like Burger King and Domino's, local Mexican food, and sushi. Beer is available for very reasonable prices.
Mexico City is known for its incredible variety of restaurants and the quality of its street food. Tap water is not generally safe to drink, but bottled water is readily available.
Outside food and drink may not be brought into the circuit.
Entry gates open at 08:00. Fans should expect an airport-style security screening process at the gates – everyone must empty their pockets and purses, all belongings will be examined, shoes must be removed, and a quick body search will be carried out.
Re-entry is prohibited at the circuit, so fans cannot leave and return with the same ticket on the same day.
Most bathroom facilities at the circuit are permanent buildings, and they are generally kept very clean. The busiest times will be just before the race on Sunday, so go early to avoid a wait.
Metro is the easiest way to get around Mexico City, and there are several stations in convenient locations for the Autódromo. Take Line 9 (brown) in the direction of Pantitlán and get off at the closest stop to your assigned grandstand:
Trains will get very busy on event days, but services run every few minutes. Passengers should consider buying return tickets in advance to avoid queuing at the most hectic times. Metro services run from early morning until midnight, and each fare costs 5 pesos.
Mexico City is a hectic place for pedestrians, and the Autódromo is approximately 6.3 km (76 min) walk from the centre of the city. It is more easily reached on foot from the Puebla, Federal, and Jardín Balbuena neighbourhoods.
The circuit provides wheelchair accessible restroom facilities and accessible viewing areas.
First Aid
Medical stations are located around the circuit, and anyone requiring any medical attention may attend one of these stations or alert a member of staff for help.
Lost & Found
Found items can be handed in at the customer service stands by each entry gate. Fans who have lost items can also enquire about their property at any of these locations.
The following items cannot be brought into the circuit:
Mexico City can experience very high temperatures, and it also sits at a high altitude. You are likely to feel out of breath more quickly than you would at lower elevations, so take it slow and try not to rush around the circuit.
Dress in light, comfortable clothes with shoes that are good for walking.
Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez has a capacity of approximately 110,000. However, the capacity does differ between events depending on the seating configuration.
